My 30 Day Progress Report!!!

First off let me say .. I have a VERY Bad habit of not completing tasks, goals and just about everything in my LIFE - to COMPLETION!! So that would have to be my biggest achievement for this FRIST 30's of my NEW way of LIFE!!

What I accomplished in the Past 30 Days:

1. Water and Oxycised Daily
2. Daily Chores - little bits daily/Vacuumed/Bathroom/Floors/Kitchen/Laundry
3. Organized Shoes/ And they get put in the closet every night
4. Bed Made every day
5. Hand wrote my Long Term Goals, My Mission, My Values - sent to Shell and My Sis
6. Blogged/ Journaled 2 times DAILY!
7. Cut back on my FB, Twitter and Forum time (still a work in progress) LOL
8. Garage is down to what is being KEPT!
9. Posted and sold some items on Craig's List - 3 or 4 boxes donated to Hospice!
10. Eating Dinner on my China at the Dining room table - with just Music/Quiet time
11. I Refuse to drink Alone or use it as a coping tool-haven't had a drink in 33 days
12. My Dining room table is NOT a catch all any more
13. Have a In box for all bills/mail is taken care of before it get inside the House
14. Started on office - actually will paint this weekend -bought Carpet today and found my new desk/bookcase and TV Stand
15. Make some headway in doing things for MYSELF and not for or because of Others.
16. Work is much better - I only touch things ONCE and DONE - I have a Daily ToDoList (which my boss asked me today for HIS OWN Copy - so he can work from a list too) I may be rubbing off on him.. LOL)

My Habit for the NEXT 30 days will be to read the Bible daily - I will be asking for help from my friends to make suggestions - your FAVORITES!!! I want this to become a HABIT!! I will continue with my Oxycise and water in the mornings...

My MIT's will be more working towards my LONG Term Goal of paying off my DEBTS and get to where I only have my Mortgage and Monthly expenses. Will take 18-24 Months - but this will involve research, reading, budgets and earning extra money.

Once again - thank you to my Friends and Family for your Love and Support!! I have a long way to go - but I do feel as if I have made some good steps these past 30 days.. Thanks for following along ... LOVE YOU ALL, M

PS. This is what I am thinking for the office... Back wall will be a coffee color and the others more an off white.. I'm getting excited (all is being paid for with $$ that I have gotten from the sale of TREASURES) LOL

DAY #30!!!!!!!!!!! I did it...

Good Morning Friends,

First of all THANK you for your support, Friendship and LOVE along the way!!! I could not of done it with out you all..

Thinking back - I can never seem to just be HAPPY I don't hear TRUMPETS playing!! I will work on my list of accomplishments this past 30 days today - and post tonight!! I just might be amazed at how far I have come... It is time to work on my GOALS/PROJECTS look at the list I made 2 weeks ago and FIGURE out what if anything I have done to get there!!

This Morning - I got out of bed a little later than usual - Needed more SLEEP!!! Did my Water and That habit is here to STAY!! :-)

Got a lot accomplished last night:
1. Have a Work ticket number for my Camera Repair
2. Have one more corner cleared out in the office
3. All Garbage to the dumpster (couple of TRIPS)

When De-cluttering I found some old CD's with pictures, Video from the PAST... I wanted to share this video I made of my 40 Birthday party in the It is special, because my Dad was in it!! :-) I miss him EVERY SINGLE DAY!! It made me SMILE!! And looking at how 10 years can change people - my little Trey is a young Man now.. Kasi and Perry and young adults.. It is just CRAZY -- Heather is a Mother of 3 - Don't let time slip away - make sure those special people in your life - KNOW IT!!!



Hugs and Love, M

Day 28 - One time POST!!!

Hello Friends,

Thank you to those that have been following my Progress, Changes and offering SUPPORT along the way!!!

Just gonna give an overview of my Day - I woke up not feeling well at all - pains in my SIDE - not sure what that was all about - better most of the day, still some twinges!! UGH

I did FORCE myself (and I mean FORCE) to do my Oxycise - BUT did it!!! I stayed in bed till I think 9ish!! I got dressed and went to church - today's message was about having MVP's in your life -- made me feel good because as Pastor Paul was explaining what a MVP is - both Kathleen and Heather pointed to me and Said I was that for them.. Made me FEEL GOOD!!

After Church - I took Trey and his Cousin Elliott to breakfast - it was GOOD - they enjoyed it and so did I!! :-) Lisa came and got Elliott and Trey and I headed to the RAYS Game!! The game was GOOD we had lots of FUN - he is such a FUNNY guy- and makes me so happy to get ONE on ONE time with him. After the game he was able to run the bases - fun walking on the field!! Dropped off Trey and headed home...

Just finished Dinner - Frozen Pizza on a paper plate at the computer - I need to go do a couple of Chores - I have been doing so good for 28 + days and how is it with just two days of not going 1000 MPH - I feel as if I am not on TRACK!!

I am approaching my one month mark - and I will be making a list of my Steps, Progress and my Goals/ Habits for the NEXT 3o days..

I hope that you all had a GREAT Weekend - spent time with friends and family that makes your HEARTS Happy.. Love you all, M

Just hanging here on the Computer - head noddin.. Sleepy all of a sudden - maybe a 30 min nappie may be good.. LOL


Work MIT's:
1. FILING, FILING, FILING... I really dont like to file.. LOL
2. Just FOCUS and stay away from Distracting Sites today - if I have a lul - I will read a book!

Tonights MIT's:
1. Make a List of the SELL Items (I am down to the Corner of Garage Sale stuff and Craiglists Items)
2. Research prices of the above items - Look into ad's on Craigslist.

Hope that everyone has a FANTASTIC Day!! Be well, BE HAPPY!! XOXO, M

Night time Day 15!

Hey all...

Ok I will admit it right now - this afternoon at work was NOT good.. I lost focus - wandered to FB and surfed other sites.. Not sure what it was - I was all braggin that I wore some Jeans that didn't fit a couple weeks ago - well they FIT as long as I didn't sit down.. LOL Was MISERABLE!! So we will blame the distraction on that.. LOL

I look at this picture and remember the GREAT time we had at the LDPT Get together!!

BUT, right back on track - came home and worked in the Garage - I pulled out all my Photography props/Backdrops/Stands and lights that were sprinkled around the Garage - and put them all in one BIG box.. I am getting down to what will be SOLD, what will be TOSSED. I could now fit 1/2 a car in the garage.. LOL

I made dinner and sat at the Dining room table again - just quiet time!! Was NICE!!

Morning Habit: Oxycise and Water @ 5:15a

Morning MIT's:
1. Fold backdrops that I washed and blankets
2. Mop the Kitchen and Bathroom Floors

I am wiped out - heading to bed VERY Early tonight.. Sweet Dreams!!! M

Good Morning Day 15!!

Hiya Friends and Family!!

I have made it thru 2 weeks of NEW Habits and ROUTINES... I must say things are going AWESOME!! I had good reports from week last week - I feel more confidant in everything I am doing these days - I always didn't do things - I suppose because I thought that it really DIDN'T Matter... BUT, over these past two weeks - I think the biggest lesson is that I DO MATTER! If I didn't think I did how would anyone else think I do.. Don't get me wrong - I will continue to included helping others, BEING the BEST Friend I possibly can be - just now I can really do it better...

I will LISTEN WITH THE HEART!!!

The beauty is everywhere in everything... Downtown St. Pete

This Morning, I watered, Oxycised, and did the GYM.. Litter Box is clean - there are NO Dirty Clothes except what I just wore to the gym.. That in itself is pretty amazing.. LOL

Tonight's MIT's:
1. Work in the garage - Pull together all Photography related props and stuff - So I know what storage unit I will need to purchase
2. Lunch - run to Office Depot - I might get a label maker - see if I find one on sale
3. Organize my drawers in the office

Hope that you all have a WONDERFUL Day... Be blessed and BE HAPPY!! XOXO, M

Good Morning Friends,

This was taken when I visited my FRIEND Suzie in VERMONT.. Miss you!!

Just thinking this Morning....

Have you been on the Right side of a RAK (Random Act of Kindness)?? How did it make you feel??

Who is the person in the Drive thru behind you?? Is it someone that had a Really shitty week, is it someone that just lost a loved one, is it someone that is all alone in this world.. OR is it is a Millionaire, someone who wants for nothing... It really doesn't matter DOES IT... Because YOU can make a Difference in their world - just pay for the person behinds you order! (if you can) - the rewards will come back 1000 times over!! I treated myself to a Iced Coffee this AM on my way to work this Sunday Morning!! And hopefully I made that Man SMILE - and in turn he will help someone someday TOO!!

Did my Oxycise and Water - @ 6:15 slept in.. :-)
@ work now - have about an hour to two of work to get done - BUT, next week will be AWESOME because of this time here today!!

Then will go to Church at 10am... Lovin Life!!

Hope that everyone has a GREAT weekend!!

Saying Prayer for my Friends in need - I LOVE YOU!!

Going to hang out with my Cousin Karol today and the Family it is her BIRTHDAY!!

Make a DIFFERENCE!! XOXO, M

Hello Friends - well I wasn't going to post again today!!!!!!!!

Oh just a little ADDED Project... I was making Coffee - and knocked the whole canister off the counter... WHAT A MESS!!!

BUT, it was a BANNER Day on 47th Street North.. LOL About 1/2 way thru washing 100 plastic stadium cups - I was thinking WTH - why not just dumpster them.. LOL I continued and got them all cleaned - there were 115 cups - I only kept 4 now that is SOMETHING!! LOL

And my Mail box was in BAAAAAAADD Shape.... The front was missing, someone had taken a baseball bat to it.. Yeah was pretty GHETTO - so I finally took the time to unscrew it and go buy a new one - I am thinkin my Post Man may just have a Heart Attack.. LOL

I finally got back in the house around 4:00 - took a shower, ibuprofen and then went to the mall for some pampering - I had a GUY do the pedicure and he was AWESOME - I was dozing off - he kept telling me just close your eyes NAP.. LOL

Then Mom called and we decided to go for Seafood for dinner... Was very nice - had Clam Strips.. YUMMY!!!!!!!
